Salvatorin Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 http://www.last.fm/music/Stars+of+the+Lid/...Hospital,Part+2 I will say right now that this piece of music is quite possibly the aural representation of that that cannot be named,the absence of judgment. The aftermath of abandonment, a quick but everlasting sense of decay. I think this is an abandoned mental hospital in Austin.

Dementia Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 This is the sort of music that makes me want to stop whatever it is that I'm doing and reflect.

Salvatorin Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 its exactly the music that propels me into "the thousand mile stare" yesterday I rode my bike 4 miles up to the top of a dome in Fairbanks (I nearly passed out from exhaustion by the time I got to the top) and looked out over everything, miles and miles and miles Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Salvatorin's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/45127-austin-texas-mental-hospital-pt-2/#findComment-1025869 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fiznuthian Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 stars of the lid is some of the greatest music in existence. there really is no contest about it. is that the hospital that the song's title refers to? fitting :omg: Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/45127-austin-texas-mental-hospital-pt-2/#findComment-1025878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmakramer Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 ieafs said: maybe my least favourite on that album, but that's only because it's in pretty esteemed company... i think i like part 3 the best - it feels like the calm comedown from that looooong middle part. haven't listened to that album in ages actually. i was a bit scared of wearing their albums out after listening them to them all pretty much non-stop for all of 2006 and 2007 so i tried to leave them for a while. perfect walking music... i had a pretty transcendental walk up in the hills listening to avec laudenum, tired sounds and their refinement back to back once. having clouds break into a spectacular sunset pretty much exactly at the key change in requiem for dying mothers part 2... :shade: nice man... nice...

Guest zaphod Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) yeah, weird, my least favorite thing on that album. i absolutely love broken harbors, though. about four and a half minutes into part two=beautiful. then at five and a half minutes where it pauses for about two seconds and starts to build until that big sort of deep flourish comes in. love that track.

Guest zaphod Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 nice. i'll have to check that out. i love stars of the lid but i don't like their most recent album at all. i'm afraid they got kind of formulaic for me...but when they're good they're amazing. artificial pine arch song is maybe my favorite piece of music. i can't think of another eighteen minute track that i can listen to on repeat...

Salvatorin Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Its funny, I somehow end up liking the long transitional bits in between their longer suites.

Guest Abuse Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 When I feel sad and anxious and take my benzos to feel better and I'm waiting for them to kick in, I usually put on some SOTL.

Guest arbee Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 my love for SOTL is infinite. I love pretty much everything they've done. dunno why but my favorites are ballastred orchestra and gravitational pull. SOTL is the best music to fall asleep. best.

EdamAnchorman Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 (Live) In Calgary, Alberta... 'nuff said i was psyched to see them live on their last tour. it was great, but they moved a bit away from the live drones they used to do and really used the 3? piece string section they brought along. don't get me wrong, it was awesome but i would've loved to chomp down on some heavy drones.
